South African Goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune May Have the Best Distribution in World Football, This Game Proves It

• Itumeleng Khune produced a sublime performance during a CAF Champions League against Wydad last year
• The brilliant goalkeeper joined Kaizer Chiefs at the age of 12, but he earlier attempted to play as a striker
• Footage shows how the shot-stopper finds his teammates with some laser accurate passing from range, showing incredible bravery

The goalkeeper of the South African national team Itumeleng Khune seems to have the best distribution in world football, as it shows during a game.

The Kaizer Chiefs No.1 is said to be giving Manuel Neuer and Ederson a run for their money when it comes to distribution.

SPORTbible reports that Khune, who has already made 91 appearances for South Africa’s national football team, had joined Chiefs when he was 12 years old, but it was a tough start to life with the outfit.

He was said to have failed trials twice, having attempted to play as a striker and a defender, but he was signed as soon as he switched his position to the goalkeeper.

So far, Khune has made over 300 appearances for the Amakhosi and earned a reputation for his incredible ability with the ball at his feet.

His performance during CAF Champions League against Wydad shows he has breathtaking passes even as a goalie.

The experienced shot-stopper finds his teammates with some laser accurate passing from range, showing incredible bravery to thread balls through opposition lines.

Last month, after being given the captain's armband by Chiefs manager Arthur Zwane, the experienced Khune says he will never leave the South African club.

He told SowetanLive:

“I will never leave the club. I will never go anywhere. I am a Khosi for life. I’ve been given an opportunity from development to the senior side and I’ve been given the responsibility to captain the biggest club on the continent."

Mabizela unimpressed with South African media

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that Mbulelo 'Oldjohn' Mabizela has a bone to pick with South Africa's football media.

The former Bafana Bafana, Orlando Pirates and Tottenham Hotspur defender believes that some journalists within that sector were out to destroy him during what was a career that promised so much but did not deliver due to disciplinary issues.

He said that the quality of football was of such a low standard that he did not bother to switch on the television to watch.
